Two-Headed Troll

After a particularly severe head injury, a troll might regrow two heads, with each taking on fragments of the old personality and its responsibilities over the body. As separated parts of a whole, the heads find it difficult to agree on any but the most basic tasks. These tasks usually involve gathering food to satisfy two mouths, even if they share a single cavernous stomach. Dread tales of two-headed trolls' ravenous appetites are whispered of in homesteads throughout the lands of the Inner Sea. It's a custom for parents to invoke the two-headed troll as a warning to misbehaving children. "Finish your chores," a parent might say to a stubborn child, "or a two-headed troll will snatch you away at night and swallow you whole!" It's unclear why such a morbid tradition gained traction, but it's an undeniable fact that two-headed trolls have an appetite for "nibbles"—creatures small enough to devour with one bite.

Towering brutes with slavering jaws and razor-sharp claws, trolls are voracious predators. A connection to the land not only rebuilds their bodies but creates countless varieties of trolls, each a reflection of the terrain that they draw upon. Trolls who migrate into new areas slowly transform as each body part is regenerated, leading to aberrant growth as new flesh tangles with the old.
